There is provided a compact heated foldable drying apparatus comprising a first sub assembly (20) and second sub assembly (30). Each sub assembly rotatably supports at least two arm assemblies (26a, 26b, 28a, 28b, 30a, 30b) on spaced apart elongate frame members (34a, 34b, 34c, 34d). A connection assembly (40) joins the sub-assemblies and permits movement between a first state and at least a further state. It retains electrical conductors extending between the sub-assemblies as they move with respect to other between states. In the first state, each of the pair of elongate frame members (34a, 34b, 34c, 34d) of each sub assembly are adjacent to an elongate frame member of the other sub assembly. In a further state one elongate frame member of each sub assembly joined by the at least one connection assembly are adjacent to each other; and each of the other elongate frame members of the sub assembly are spaced apart from each other.

The method includes transmitting a coordination signal to a first gateway and a second gateway, and the coordination signal can be configured to coordinate a PAwR communication schedule. The PAwR communication schedule can include coordinated PAwR advertising intervals for the gateways.

The present disclosure, in various embodiments, provides a system, method, and device for dynamic reconfiguration of networks of Internet of Things (loT) devices. The method can include collecting network health data and gateway health data from a source gateway and transmitting a handoff signal to a source gateway. The handoff signal can initiate a device assignment routine when at least one trigger criterion is met, such as of a load-balancing event, a failover event, a roaming event, or a userinitiated event. A target gateway can be determined based on selection parameters and can receive relevant device details from the source gateway to enable the loT device to connect with the target gateway.

The present disclosure, in various embodiments, provides a system, method, and device for coordinating wireless networks of IoT devices. The method can include transmitting a coordination signal to a first gateway and a second gateway to coordinate a discovery process. A suspension signal can be transmitted to one or more of the first gateway or the second gateway based on suspension criteria to cause suspension of the discovery process at the first or second gateway.

There is disclosed a partition wall kit for providing a partition stud wall underneath an upper floor configured to accommodate heavy loads, comprising: a plurality of engineered timber columns configured to extend from a base to a head track of the stud wall; and a corresponding plurality of deflection brackets, each comprising: a base wall; a first side wall provided at a first edge of the base wall and a second side wall provided at a second edge of the base wall, the first and second side walls provided so as to form a bracket channel in combination with the base wall; and a connection portion extending orthogonally away from the base wall, and comprising one or more slotted holes, wherein: each deflection bracket, from the first side wall to the second side wall, is configured to fit snugly within a width of the head track channel.
